We were hoping to sell our house during my pregnancy, but after about 8 months it became clear that we were staying and we needed a nursery ASAP! I had planned out the entire room in Photoshop and it was quite a rush to do all the shopping and decorating at the end.

My favorite part of the room is the ceramic goat head I found on eBay. Some may say it's creepy, but I think it brings the right amount of quirkiness to the room.

We sleep on the futon when we have house guests, but I've absolutely loved having it there for naps and snuggling up together for bedtime books.

The black and white photos are milestones from her first six months and Bea loves pointing out everyone in the pictures. (Don't worry, her crib is pulled away from the wall decoration now that she's older.)

The biggest challenge was finding patterns that would work together. I had planned for more interesting bedding, but ultimately decided all white would be best against the rug and futon comforter.
